Do not store your passwords in a document on your computer. Every device, application, website, and piece of software requires a unique and strong password or PIN. Remember, if a cybercriminal does guess one of your passwords, they will use this to attempt to hack into all your personal and professional accounts. Never reuse password

Remember never to share your passwords with anyone. This includes your colleagues, the IT/support team, customer service/helpdesk personnel, family members, and friends.

Also, be aware of phishing emails, smashing texts, and vishing calls that ask for your password information – do not reply or provide any personal information including your password, date of birth, address, or credit card details.
